Philadelphia International or Newark Liberty International are best for air travel, as Philadelphia is 50 miles from Rider. It is smaller & easy to navigate. Delta, United, Southwest, and US Air all fly there.
Newark Liberty is 45 miles north of Rider & a Continental hub, as well as United, American, Midwest, and Frontier.
Rider is about 60 miles from JFK or Laguardia but the traffic from there to Rider is usually an issue unless you plan to tour New York City.
Details on area attractions will also follow. New Jersey is the "Crossroads of the American Revolution.” For military historians -- you will be 5 miles south of Princeton and 3 miles north of Trenton (Battleground tours available). Monmouth Battlefield is 25 five miles away.
